Beaver Trapping

Flooding from Dams

Beavers construct dams that can cause water levels to rise, leading to flooding of roads, farmland, and residential areas. We specialize in assessing these situations and removing dams when necessary to restore natural water flow.

Plugged Culverts

Beavers often build structures in culverts, blocking drainage and leading to significant flooding. Our team can remove these blockages and install preventative measures, such as beaver deceivers or exclusion fences, to reduce future issues.

Erosion & Vegetation Loss

Beaver activity can lead to the destruction of trees, shrubs, and grasses that help prevent soil erosion. We offer solutions to protect critical vegetation, including tree wrapping and habitat management strategies that encourage beavers to relocate naturally.

Tree Damage and Land Destruction

Beavers rely on trees for food and building materials, which can lead to significant tree loss on private properties, parks, and farmland. If left unmanaged, this can alter landscapes and reduce the aesthetic and environmental value of an area. We offer protective solutions such as tree guards, fencing, and habitat modification to minimize damage.

Damage to Infrastructure

Beavers can weaken roads, dikes, and other infrastructure by burrowing into embankments and constructing dams near critical areas. These activities can cause costly repairs and potential safety hazards. Our team provides proactive solutions, including burrow filling, bank reinforcement, and beaver deterrents to protect infrastructure.

Unwanted Beavers on Private Property

In some cases, beavers establish themselves in areas where they pose a direct conflict with property owners. Relocating beavers can be challenging due to regulations, but we offer humane trapping and population control methods where permitted. Additionally, we provide expert guidance on coexisting strategies when removal isn’t an option.
